MS Climate control fix = No radio use? what gives?

Since its getting cold again, and I was experiencing no climate control. I decided to do the solder fix that many of you have had success with. So I follow the steps and finish the job. Put it back in and my radio display won't display anything and the center climate (defrost, etc..) will not work. I have verified that it receives power (it will eject cds) and it is putting out hot air now.

So any help w/ this issue would be greatly appreciated..

I have looked in to replacements w/ the clarion cx501, metra kit. I don't mind going that route but if its something that can be fixed I'd rather spare the money.

Thanks in advance guys and gals

I would expect that you either didn't plug something in...or fubarred something when you soldered it...hopefully the former

Yeah probably something not connected or came loose when you put it back together, same thing happened to me. Reconnected and it was fine.

Alright! I found an issue! The Little circle connector (antenna) is broken off inside the unit.. Would that cause it to do this?

I just did this the other day, and had the same problem. My fix was replacing the 7.5 amp fuse inside behind the kick panel. I think the fuse is for A/C. After that, works perfect.

replaced the fuse.. no joy.. I've taken it out and looked at the solder points and made sure everything was connected fine.. The only thing I see as far as the connections is the previously mentioned antenna plug.
